The Fidelity sharps.

CINCINNATI, June M.-Messrs. Har-
per and Hopkins, of the Fidelity bank,
spent the night in Jail. Harper is re-
ported to have slept soundly, while Hop
kinS spent most of the night walking
the floor. They were visited by friends
this morning, and were again making
an effort to procure bail. 1t is said that
Harper yesterday telegraphed fO Mr..
Whitley, of Springfield, Ohio, asking
him to come down and go upon his
bond, but at that time that great manu-
featuring concern was taking steps for
the appointment OF a receiver.
SPRINGFIELD, O., June M.-Tho dis
cOvery has been made that Whitley,
Fossler & Kelly prior 10 making the
molten to have a receiver appointed,
gave to the Champion Machine COM
pany an indemnifying mortgage OF
$500, 600 on all the property owned by the
firm. The mortgage states that the
firm borrowed this amount from the
machine company in promisory notes
on which they were negotiating loans
The developments indicate con-
cluSively that the failure was precipi-
tated by the Fidelity bank disaster
Two years ago Whitley assisted Vice
President Harper of the latter inStitrl-
ton out of serious difficulty with
accommodation paper representing an
immense sum. When Harper realized
his own downfall was iminent he dis
posed of this paper to New York and
Cincinnati brokers without Whitely's
knowledge or consent. These brokers
Immediately pressed Whitley, and this
caused yesterdays action.

Killed by Indians.

DENVER, June GA special dispatch
to the Durango Idea from McEID.
Utah, gives the following particulars of
fiendiSh murder by lot of Navajo
Indians: Last Wednesday about noon
a party of Navajo Indians, five in num-
Der, crossed the San Juan river at Bah
ton Bros. trading post, eight miles be-
low Bluff City, and after short quarrel
with Amos NJ. Barton, who was the
only man about the place, they killed
him by shooting him twice in the head
They had a scuffie with him beforS
they did the shooting, and at the time
of shooting hfY they had him ON the
floor with rope around his neck. One
Navajo was holding this rope which
had poor Barton choked, another was
holding him by the feet and another by
the hands, and while they had him in
this shape they shot him. They then
robbed the store and pulled out. The
only persons at the ranch were Barton's
wife and mother-in-law, whom the In
dians, for a wonder, did not molest.
There is considerable excitement i'm this
part of the country, and the trouble is
not over yet.

NOTHING DEFINITE
regarding it, beyond the fact that they
would of course put up another mill.
The. burning of the saw mills throws
200 men out of employment, and this
fact worries the firm more than the loss
of their property, as a new mill can not
be built in time to do much this season,
and the bulk of the men employed are
dependent upon their summers labor
for their support. The Laird-Norton
company is largely interested in the
WinOna Lumber company and the Chip
pewa Lumber and Boom company at
Chippewa Falls, Wis, and at the big
Hayward, Wis, saw mill. 1t is prob
able that they will meet what orders
that are pressing, from one Of these
mills. They now have on hand in their
WinOna yard about 20,000,000 feet of
lumber, and maintain forty yards
principally on the lines of the Winona
Il st. Peter railway in Minnesota and
Dakota. The business of the firm has
amounted to about $3.50, GOO annually.
They have been in receipt of offers OF
financial aid from different sources to-
day, but say they are thankful that such
are not necessary. The Laird-Norton
hose companies and the WinOna fire
department are deserving of much
credit for the faithfulness of their work.

other festivities of the day began. The
crowds scattered in all directions about
the yards, and set about entertaining or
being entertained. Hundreds of in
vited guests began to flock in this ward
by this time and very soon had complete
possession: The class re-assembled in
front of Hofwofthy, marched through

SERIOUS CONFEDERATION.
Winona Visited by the Largest
Fire in a Long Time.

Special TO the GloDe
WINoNA, June 24.-The large saw
mill of the Laird-Norton company, situ-
ated on the levee, was entirely destroyed
by fire shortly after o'clock this morn
ing. When. first. discovered by the
watehman the fire > was beyond control,
the whole building seeming to be en-
veloped in flames at once. The watch
man Immediately gave the alarm by
blowing the whistle. The whistles from
half dozen other mills, together with
the fire bell, at once spread the alarm
throughout the city, and in a very short
time the hose companies from the mill
and the fire department were on hand,
and eleven streams were soon playing
on the flames. But it was useless work
trying to save the mill, and the firemen,
assisted by scores of willing citizens,
turned their attention to saving the ad-
jacent property and keeping the fire
confined to the saw mill. Fortunately
it was quiet morning with no air stir
ring, or nothing could have saved the
manufactures and immense lumber
yards on the lower levee. The heat
from the burning mill was intense, and
it waS.with difficulty that the firemen
could get near enough at times to do
effective work. The lumber sheds in
the yards are all covered with iron. but
they became so heated that the smoke
= issued forth, and the paint On the gen
eral office some distance away
sIZZLED AND CRACKED.
But the men worked faithfully, keeping
the building well drenched, and nuiner-
Gus bucket brigades watched the yards
and woodpiles, and prevented the fire
from spreading. The saw mill burned
to the ground, and the machinery is
almost a total loss. The firenen worked
for about four hours. The total loss is
closely estimated at $4,000. The in
surance on the mill and machinery was

CHICAGO, June 2A-Tuesday night a
big boarding house at 764 Clybourne av-

WASHINGTON, June A.-From a most
reliable source it was ascertained to-day
that the president intends to visit st.
Paul this autumn, and he may be in
duced to take the lOng-promised West
ern trip even earlier. Mrs. Cleveland
has looked forward to renewal OF old
friendships in the Sanity City, where
she formerly resided, and it is under
stood that her wishes in this matter
have had great deal to do with in
fiuencing the president in arriving at
his present conclusion. Ever since the
subject was broached at the White
house the presidents wife has been an
earnest advocate of the proposition to
enlarge their circle of acquaintances in
the West, and it is to her efforts princl-
pally that the citizens of st. Paul will
be indebted for the long anticipated
visit of the chief magistrate. From
every quarter have come assurances OF
royal welcome awaiting the diStln-
guished couple, and members OF the cab
met have been urgent in their Solicita-
tions that the president should take
such a trip as has been suggested.
1t is not definitely known how many OF
his cabinet will accompany the presi-
dent, but Secretaries Bayard, Whitney
and Lamar have signified desire to be
included in the party, and will in all
probability go West in the special train
that will be placed at their disposal. A
change of scene and climate has been
recommended by those interested in the
preservation of the health of the presi
dent, and he to-day made up his mind
definitely to accept the invitation of his
Western constituents, and will spend
several weeks among them. This
effectually disposes OF all talk as to the
probability of an extra session OF con
gress, for there is no necessity for such
proceeding according to the ideas OF

Very Ugly.

Special to the Globe.
Iowa CITY, To-, June 24.-Rev. DIR.
Fellows announces for himself that he
will refuse to resign his professOrship
as requested by the board of regents,
and it is understood that his colleagues,
Profs. Parker and Leonard, will follow
his lead, he being the aggressive man.
He says he will not make any fight
against the university, but will explode
the true inwardneSS of the bargains by
which the heads of himself and Leonard
were sold to the river counties for votes
in support of an appropriation in the
last legislature. In a week he will have
out an open letter which will probably
contain some reading of great interest
to Gov. Larrabee and Re
gents Wright and Crosby.
DR.. Fellows alleges that the, prohibition
sentiments of himself and Prof. Leon
ard are the only reasons for their re-
moval, and that if they had padlOcked
their lips at the commands of the re-
gents they could have stayed. While
not positively saying that Prof. Nc
Claims retention and promotion in the
law department is the result of his COM
pliance with the famous request of the
regents, he plainly indicates his opin-
ion. The chances are that the doctor
will lead a strong fight, and the next

very apt to have an entirely new dis

Ending 1t.
DETROIT, Mich, June 24.-The St.
Albertus Polish church war has, it is
hoped, come to an end. News that the
church would be opened this morning
was carried to the Kolasinski faction by
runners throughout the night, and long
before daylight more than 100 of the
women had scaled the fence about the
church and were breathing threats
against the Dombrowski faction, who
were gathered in large numbers outside
the railing. At daylight there were
more than 400 people about the church,
with ten police present under command
Capt. Mack and Roundsman Meyers. At
8 O'Clock the DOmbrOwski faction. NUM-
bering about 2,000, entered the convent
opposite the church and remained
there until 1890. At $40 one OF the
Kolasinski faction mounted barrel
and harangued the crowd in Polish.
His speech greatly excited the people.
One of the men inside the fence drew a
revolver and threatened to shoot the
first man who opened the church. Capt.
Mack thought it advisable to call for
more men, and at S:45 sent his first call,
and in few minutes about fifty addi-
h0nal policemen were On the ground
About forty police formed in line at the
corner of st. Aubin and Fremont streets
and drove the crowd that was hanging
to the fence back across the street. In
the meantime division from the Ora
tiOt avenue station had cleared the
churchyard and driven the people away
from the church. About noon slight
disturbance was raised, but it was
quickly quelled by the arrest of one man
and several women, and at o'clock the
church was opened and service began,
thus ending the long and bloody strug-
gle between the two factions which has
kept the church closed since Dec. 8, 1885.

FRIDAYS HANGINGs.
i A Man Goes to Death as the Result
OF Drunken BraWl.


INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, June a.
Edward Sneed was hanged in the Jail
yard here this afternoon. He spent the
morning in his cell and was attended by
three Catholic priests and sisters of
charity. He appeared to be badly
frightened during the forenoon, but re-
covered somewhat, and, although he
ate no diuner, stood the ordeal of read
ing Of the death warrant we'll. At 1926
p. III. he appeared on the scaffold at
tended by priests, and after brief re-
ligious ceremony the jailer at 1850
pulled the lever and the body shot
down and turned just once. There was
not quiver or twitch, indicating
broken neck. At 1852 he was pro
nOunced dead and was cut down two
minutes later. He was self possessed
on the scaffold. The body was turned
over to his relatives. The crime for
which Sneed to-day suffered death
was committed in Kansas City near a
saloon called ''Thes Blue 'FRONT.' at the
corner of Twenty-third street and Dripp
street, on July 26, 1884. He had been
drinking nearly all day with Orlando
Harrison Loomis, and about S D. m.
Loomis started to go away. Sreed fol-
lowed and an alteration ensued, the
nature of which was widely disputed.
AT any rate in a very short time SneSl
drew revolver and, taking deliberate
aim, shot Loomis in the right lung. The
victim staggered half block and then
fell, dying in few minutes. Snced
was given three trials and was con-
victed of murder in the first degree at
each trial, but the supreme court re-
verSed two of the cases on technical
grounds. a desperate effort was made
by Sneed's friends and relatives to save
him, but Gov. Marmaduke refused to
interpoSe.
A WIFE MURDERER.
ST. LOUIS, June 24-Alfred Blunt.
the wife murderer, was hanged here at
6:35 o'clock this morning. Life was ex-.
tinct six minutes and fifteen seconds
after the drop fell. AT a. m. his spirit
ual adviser visited the cell, and the re-
naming hours of Blunt's life were occu-
pied in reading the scriptures and
praying, AT $50 the sheriff read the
death NAtant and pinioned the mans
arms. He walked with firm step to
Z scaffold and took his position on
cracker box that had been placed OIL the
trap to make his fall greater. A gray
spallOr spread over his face, and he was
quite nervous when the black cap was
pulled down over his face. While he
was murmuring short prayer, the trap
was sprung and death followed in six
and one-fourth minutes. His body was
cut down and sent to the morgue.
The crime for which Blunt was
hanged was the atYOcious murder of his
young wife. He was very jealous of her,
and frequentquarrelS finally drove her
away from home with her two children.
